Quote:11. Written, 50 to 200+ words. One Season Closer to Retirement
One season behind all of us. How did your player perform compared to your expectations? What do you expect from next season? Are you being hit by regression so hard that anything close to this season's performance would be a win in your books? Or maybe you are reaching your peak, in either of the leagues and hope to compete for some awards?

I had a bit of a disappointing season In S76. This time around, I my expectations were blown away. Jae-ik Barron (my player) performed as one of the best Inferno forwards in all facets of the game, in which I credit management in finding a good role for him. He was third in scoring on the team, behind only Billy Herrington and Jiggle E. Puff. Averaging almost 4 minutes per game on the power-play certainly helped, but I think there were some steady improvements in Jae-ik’s game that became noticeable as the season went along.

For next season, I think I’m expecting more of the same. Not just a successful season stats wise, but also more growth so that my effectiveness on the ice increases to the point where Jae-ik is challenging for the top point-producer on the team. An added physical element to his game would also be nice. Oh, and also maintaining his strong defensive play, which was honestly the biggest priority for me when I created this player. It’s interesting how I initially envisioned Jae-ik as a defensive center, but just getting a taste of points and offensive success was enough to convince me that a well-rounded player is much more valuable for the Atlanta Inferno.

Quote:13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. National Rivalry
Which team do you see as your main rival in either IIHF or WJC? Maybe it is the closest neighboring country or someone who you have met in the playoffs countless times? Or maybe your team got split for WJC and you now have eternal hatred for the other team or the other way around, did your teams get merged and you want to show to your old partners in IIHF why they were bringing you down? Do you think that most of your team agrees with your pick or is it for more personal reasons?

It may not necessarily be relevant right now because the reasoning is outdated, but the countries I see as Canada’s rivals are Great Britain and Czechia. Both teams were good when Canada went on its dynastic run in the S50s. Britain in particular was the country that kept Canada from winning five gold medals in a row. Those two countries were great and always have pull for new users to create in.
